The Battle of Tulgas was fought between Allied and Bolshevik troops on the Northern Dvina River. It took place on the day the armistice ending World War I was signed, November 11, 1918, and is sometimes referred to as the "Peace Day's Bloody Battle". It ended with the fall of Tulgas to Communist forces who then proceeded on with another offensive action in January 1919, which ended with the capture of Shenkursk.
